The set for Going Bacharach,
a great afternoon enjoying the music of Burt Bacharach
As I've written many times, I say a little prayer for my friends in Blogland. But that phrase is also the title of one of my favorite songs, "I Say a Little Prayer," by one of my favorite songwriters, Burt Bacharach. I loved it when I first heard it during my senior year in high school, when it was released, and it's still a favorite. Even though the temperature was just about below zero with the wind chill on Saturday, I got myself out to see a great program of Burt Bacharach's music and I'm very glad I did.
Meeting Adrian Galante, the Musical Director of Going Bacharach
Bacharach's music was part of the soundtrack of my high school years and while "I Say a Little Prayer" comes to mind immediately there are so many other songs that I enjoy and know every word, even after fifty plus years. I didn't sing along to the show, but there was lots of toe tapping. Any other Burt Bacharach fans in Buttercupland? If you are, please share your favorite song with us.
As promised we have a winner for the Seventeenth Blogaversary giveaway. It's our blog buddy Respice Prospice. I'll be sending a mystery from one of my favorite mystery series, Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency. The series takes place in Botswana and Precious Ramotswe is one of my favorite detectives ever.
The deep freeze of last week has ended -- Hurray! -- and we're back to regular winter weather. I so appreciate that it doesn't take me ten minutes just to get ready to go outside and I don't need to wear boots. I had a fun adventure uptown -- museum and lunch -- and I'll be sharing it in a post soon.
As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.

That show sounds like one I would have enjoyed as well, Carol. And, the mystery series is a good one as are the author’s other ones.
I remember that song very well, Carol. What a great opportunity you had to attend that concert, and I loved the photo of you with the director. Congrats to Myra on being the winner, too! Blessings!
I liked Burt Bacharach too -- but my favorite is (Don't laugh) Turkey Lurkey Time from Promises Promises! We're "warming up" too. A relief!
That had to be exciting. I remember that song too.
How fun. Loved the picture.
How exciting ... thank you!
I loved Bacharach then ... and still do.
PS - I'm still in Georgia for Tom's surgery, but can't wait to read this new-to-me author.
I love McCall's books. Have read most of them. My favorite series is with Bertie.
I've always enjoyed listening to the many Burt Bacharach songs.
All the best Jan
I loved the Number 1 Detective series and read all of them
I LOVE Precious! Wonderful series!
